The British and Irish Lions move on to New Plymouth to face a tricky tour match against Taranaki

Lions forward Michael Owen takes the play into Taranaki's half during a tense opening to the match

Denis Hickie skilfully hacks the ball forward as the Lions slowly begin to find their feet against a resilient home side

Fly-half Charlie Hodgson enjoys a good first half, but the tourists find scoring opportunities limited

Taranaki's defence swamp Andy Titterrell as the Lions come to the end of the first half 7-6 behind

Delightful play from Hodgson and Chris Cusiter sets up Martin Corry to narrowly score a try straight after the break

The Lions finally begin to cut loose and daylight opens up between the teams with a try from Shane Horgan

Taranaki are firmly on the rack and Geordan Murphy dives over to put the Lions comfortably ahead

And just three minutes later Murphy scores again after a crossfield kick from Hodgson opens up the defence

Lions fans have much to cheer about as they celebrate their team's emphatic 36-14 victory

Hodgson's superb display leaves Sir Clive Woodward with plenty to think about ahead of the upcoming Tests
